It hasn't been a good day, or week for that matter, for MediaDefender. Their internal emails have been leaked for the world to see, a phone conversation with a law enforcement official divulged, strategy data used against Gnutella published; and just when things couldn't possible get any worse, they just did.

According to a new torrent post over at The Pirate Bay, MediaDefender-Defender's (MDD's) have struck again. This time, they managed to release the source code MediaDefender uses in its anti-piracy efforts.

"MediaDefender-Defenders proudly presents the source code that MediaDefender use.

The source is complete for their operations regarding Kazaa, bittorrent, gnutella etc. This system is now released for the public in order to identify the decoys they set up. A special thanks to the MD employee that gave this to us."
